Could a ceramic fibre brush improve your deburring process?
Easy to use, easy to program, and effective on castings with natural part variation – the Xebec Surface Brush helps eliminate the risk of missed edges that can occur with traditional rigid chamfer tools. As David Taylor of Drill Service highlights, the ceramic fibre design allows controlled flexibility for deburring, root burr removal, and surface finishing using a standard end mill-style program. With simple adjustment, predictable wear behaviour, and reliable performance on variable parts, it’s a more consistent approach to achieving surface quality in demanding applications.

LATEST MIYANO IS SUBCONTRACTOR’S GO-TO LATHE
Established as a sliding-head turned parts subcontractor in 2001 by Michael Laybourne, Yorkshire Precision Engineering Ltd (YPEL) diversified into fixed-head turning six years later with the purchase of a new, Japanese-built Miyano BNJ-42SY twin-spindle, twin-turret lathe.

YPEL was so impressed with the lathe’s performance that when a similar, second-hand machine came onto the market a year later, Mr Laybourne and his wife Lynda, the financial director, snapped it up.
